I suppose Im in the minority group who hated this film. Seriosly this is very dull and boring. Nothing seemed to happen in it whatsoever. As for Renee Zellwegger, you would have thought her to have been great in it after seeing her in Bridget Jones wouldnt you? Wrong. She does nothing for this film at all. She couldnt carry it through, her acting was all wierd. But I had to sit through and watch this rubbish with my family, who surprisingly all liked it and praised Renee Zellwegger for her fantastic performance. I was like what the hell are u talking about?? Anyway, I have since given this DVD away to my friend who liked it but then she loves Rene Zellewgger, so that kept her happy!

The story of Bridget Jones first began as a diary collumn in a newspaper, rose to success in book form (then it's sequel) and then finally hit the movies in 2001 with Briget played quite perfectly by the lovely Renee Zellwegger.
This modern take on Pride and Predjudice follows the female protagonist Briget Jones who decides to keep a diary of her life; unlike the Mary-Jane all too perfect characters in most stories and movies of today, Bridget is quite literally EVERY woman you've ever known.
Bridget is a 30-something urban singleton on the look for love - perhaps in the wrong places. She's an ever so slightly overweight (Zellwegger put on weight specifically for the movie) office worker who reads self-help books religiously, ... Read More:

Unfortunately, this is miles away from being as good as the books or the first film. They changed the plot so they could shoe-horn Hugh Grant into the film (and a not very good fight scene with Colin Firth as well). But so much worse is the sense that Bridget has been made into a figure of fun, rather than someone who was funny because we related to her. Not funny, not romantic, even Colin Firth is less lovely in this film.

I don't generally watch anything to do with boxing, I find the idea of two men fighting as a sport barbaric, however this film got me that involved in the almost true story I got caught up in the excitement of the fight scenes. I thought Russell Crowe was excellent in the film and it portrayed how the depression of the 1930's had an impact on family life as they struggle to make ends meet. Well worth watching!

Leatherheads is one of the most enjoyable films of the year. It's both a homage to football before it became big business and to 30s/40s comedies. The chemistry between Zellweger and Clooney works fine nad they have some great scenes together both in terms of comedy and unsentimental romance. The film is well written, perfect timing and an altogether nice balance of elements. I particularly liked how Clooney poked gentle fun at his own age. Visually, Leatherheads is one of the most elegant films I have ever seen with a dominance of warm colours. The costumes are absolutely awesome. Randy Newman yet again delivers a superb soundtrack (and a delightful cameo experience

If you take the equation of bigness of Cruise face on DVD cover as inversely proportional to the quality of the film you find it on, you should be able to avoid these seriously bad films. Yet again no awards for Toms own take on the acting profession that he tries and fails to be a part of. The story is sentimental trash, the writing is terrible and the car chases are virtually non-existant. This is another Cruise missile aimed directly at the soul of the viewers, way off target and fizzling out before ever being a serious threat. Avoid this tramp of a film.
